21、Building a lasting social relationship
We all know that friends are special people who we share our lives with, and who share their lives with us in return. But seeking friends and keeping the friendship going are never easy.
According to research recently published in the Journal of Social and Personal Relationships, the key is to use "we--talk". Led by University of California psychologist Megan Robins and her colleagues, the researchers reviewed and analyzed 30 different studies involving over 5, 000 participants.【1】
The word "we" moves people from an individual position into a partnership, which makes us more interdependent. “【2】 Word use is a window into what people are thinking and feeling without asking them. " Robbins told Science Daily.
【3】 The primary point is that interdependence may bring about supportive and relationship-centered behaviors and positive perceptions of the partner-especially important in times of stress and disagreement.
Contrary to "we-talk", there is "I-talk", which refers to the frequent use of the first-person singular pronouns, such as "I", "me" and "mine", when writing or speaking. Earlier this year, researchers analyzed a set of data that came from 47, 000 people in Germany and the US.【4】 As you can see from the two studies, too much "I-talk" can make you feel depressed. But "we-talk" can encourage you to become more positive and create a chain effect of healthy interdependence with others.
So next time you are talking to a friend, try using more "we-talk". 【5】
A．Their research also found that "we talk" is helpful for resolving conflicts.
B．Self-centered people are found to be indifferent to many things in society and other people.
C．Pronouns offer an insight into whether people see themselves as individuals or as part of a whole.
D．If you are speaking in a person context, you're speaking about something that's of relevance to you.
E．You may find yourself feeling more positive - and the effect it will have on your friend will be positive as well.
F．This analysis of "we-talk" suggested that the frequent use of "we" and "us" is linked to happier and healthier relationships.
G．They found that too much "I-talk" was an accurate linguistic marker for the likelihood that someone is feeling stressed or experiencing negative emotions.
22、 Chinese pronunciation puzzled experts in China for a long, long time. How do you recover the sounds immortalized in classical texts? How do you make the old poems rhyme again?
A scholar, Chen Li, reconstructed the language in the 1840s. He's facing a centuries-old problem. He examined the book closely in front of him. It looked old, untidy even. But it had quite a backstory. 1261 years earlier, Lu Fayan outlined what would become the Qieyun. He broke down the sound of each character with two more characters! An upper character to match the initial consonant. And a lower character to rhyme with the final sounds, including the tone. With fanqie, you can capture the sound of a syllable! Simple. And clever.
But it didn't give an overview of Chinese phonology. Rhymers needed to take another step: organize this information into tables The 12h century Rhyme Mirror is full of rime tables. The starting label gives the table number and the kind of rhyme these syllables have. Along the top row are six articulation categories for consonants. And down the side, the four tones. Though the interpretation is debated, confident scholars spent centuries sounding out ancient Chinese syllables and teaching that Chinese had exactly 36 initial consonants.
But Chen Li's not convinced. He's combing through old fanqie and his research revealed flaws.
There weren't 36 initials There were 41. Five of them needed to be split in two. But there's more: the sounds in the rime tables are not the sounds in the Qieyun. Later research will go on to show that even the earlier stage itself is complicated. It's a compromise between ancient literary dialects. All this hard work merely left us with categories.
In the early 1900s, a Swede, Karlgren, traveled to China and added an important piece. He filled out the rime categories with real sounds. Linguists went on to refine these reconstructions of Ancient Chinese. They even revealed small but important distinctions, like chongniu. Actually, it's not a single language called Ancient Chinese. It's a period in linguistic history called Middle Chinese. Because there's an even older language to uncover, a thousand years older sill.
Maybe one day we'll rhyme our way into Old Chinese.
【1】How does the author begin the article?
A.By raising questions. B.By giving an assumption.

B.It gave the detailed information about sounds.
C.It became complex with many different characters.
D.It failed to give an overview of Chinese phonology.
【3】What contributions did Chen Li make to the Chinese phonology?
A.He combed through old Qieyun. B.He found the faults of old Qieyun.
C.He left us with categories and real sounds. D.He made a compromise to ancient dialects.
【4】What's the main idea of this passage?
A.The reconstruction of Qieyun. B.The discovery of Rhyme Mirror.
C.The researches on Chinese phonology. D.The development of Chinese language.
23、If you have a pet, you've probably wished at some point that it could talk to you.Too bad that's impossible...or is it? Alexis Devine would tell you that her dog can in a way.
Devine,an artist in Tacoma, has had Bunny, a female Sheepadoodle for a year. And in that time, Devine says she’s introduced Bunny to more than 50 words by teaching her to press buttons that play words out loud. For instance,as seen in videos,Devine has posted on social media,if Bunny wants to go to the park,she’ll press a button that says“park”.Or, if she wants to play, she’ll hit the button for“play”.Those posts on TikTok have become wildly popular with 3.4 million followers.
Devine was inspired after finding Christina Hunger,a speech-language pathologist(病理学家)who teaches her dog, Stella, how to communicate with buttons.“My goal before I got her was that I wanted to have the most connected,engaged relationship possible,”Devine said.“I feel like there's so much potential in animal relationships and I really wanted to make the most of it.”
So how does Bunny learn to use the buttons? Devine said a lot of it is from repetition. Normally when Devine adds words, she’s already using the word in conversation with Bunny. The hope, she said, is that Bunny has already built an association with that word. Then, to help her learn the button’s position, Devine will repeat the word and strengthen the behavior after Bunny presses a button.
While Devine and Bunny have fun with the buttons, Devine said they communicate great without them.“I don't want to take away any of her dog-ness,” Devine said.“The buttons are super interesting and they may give us more in-depth insight into what's going on inside a dog's mind, but she already has all the tools she needs to communicate.”
【1】What has Bunny learned to do?
A．To communicate with buttons.
B．To watch videos on social media.
C．To distinguish “park” from “play”.
D．To know over 3.4 million followers
【2】How did Devine teach Bunny the skill?
A．By using words Bunny had already known.
B．By repeatedly associating words with buttons.
C．By turning to a language-speech pathologist.
D．By regularly changing the positions of buttons.
【3】What is Devine's intention of training Bunny?
A．Having an ideal relationship with her pet.
B．Catching eyes on social media like TikTok.
C．Connecting to as many animals as possible.
D．Inspiring more people to care for special dogs.
【4】What does Devine mean by saying “I don't want to take away any of her dog-ness”?
A．She won't teach Bunny words in the future.
B．She'll continue the study about dogs’mind.
C．She enjoys talking with Bunny in other ways.
D．She respects Bunny's way of communicating.
24、 I work at a grocery store in Montreal's Plateau neighbourhood, which gets a lot of regulars. On March 12, the Quebec government announced to close all public places to stop the spread of the pandemic(流行病)of coronavirus.
The next day the store was the busiest I've ever seen.The six cash registers had to be kept open from 10 a.m. until close. It was nuts. I didn't have time to eat lunch, and whenever one of us on cash had to use the bathroom, we'd have to bring in a coworker of the floor to cover for us.
Since then, the atmosphere in the store has been different. Customers are mostly considerate, but whenever someone coughs or sneezes, everyone turns around to make sure that person sneezed into their elbow. I've even seen customers come in wearing some strange get-ups. One guy even came in with a plastic Walmart bag wrapped around his entire head, with a slit cut out for his eyes.
A lot of my coworkers have left to avoid a public-facing job during the pandemic.grocery store workers across Canada are putting their health at risk every time they come in to work, but a lot of us are still making close to minimum wage. I realize that I feel more exhausted than normal even though I'm working the same hours.
There still have been some moments of kindness in the midst of the chaos.I've overheard people talking on the phone who sounded as though they were organizing grocery deliveries for those stuck at home. And this past weekend a very nice lady thanked us for continuing to work. I know everyone is worried, but it's useless having the same scary conversations day after day. Instead tell us a funny anecdote, or about something nice. We’ll appreciate the distraction, and you’ll make our day just a bit brighter.
【1】What does the author intend to show by "It was nuts." in Paragraph 2?
A.The goods were in short supply. B.The store was having a big sale.

【2】What does Paragraph 3 convey about customers?
A.They prefer to shop here in costume. B.They are panicky about the disease.
C.They are more friendly to each other. D.They all protect themselves properly.
【3】Which of the following best describes the author?
A.Aggressive. B.Considerate. C.Optimistic. D.Conservative.
【4】What is the author 's main purpose in writing the article?
A.To present the kind moments in a time of chaos.
B.To describe what it 's like working in the pandemic.
C.To explain why it is hard to work at the grocery store.
D.To provide advice on how to protect oneself in the pandemic.

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Some researchers think there might be a connection between UFOs and angel sightings. They say the angels and heavenly figures might actually have been extraterrestrials(外星人)。
After his experience in the 1980s with "the most beautiful thing" he ever saw, Lewis might agree with that assessment.
It was a Saturday morning in Mariposa, California, and Lewis had to work that day. The air was fresh from a cool rain the night before, and the morning sky was bright with a few scattered clouds.
"I was heading out to my car in the back parking lot of the apartment complex where I lived when I noticed someone kneeling next to my car," Lewis says. "This person saw me and quickly stood up holding a crowbar(撬棍),"
The young man was quite obviously astonished by Lewis's interruption, and although Lewis sensed the boy was up to no good, it hadn't yet hit him what he was doing. Then Lewis looked through the passenger window of his car and saw that the steering wheel column had been stripped(脱去)of its cover. He realized that the young man was trying to steal his car.
"I asked him what he was doing," Lewis recalls, "He gave me a lame story about his friend's car being stolen last night and that my car looked like his friend's and so on. I didn't want to hear it. I told him I was going to call the police, which I did on my cell phone."
Lewis dialed 911 and gave the dispatcher(调度员)the address. He told the would-be thief that the police were on their way and warned him not to leave. "If he did, I wasn't going to try to stop him because he had that crowbar," Lewis says.
As Lewis was questioning the young man, trying to detain(扣留)him, he began to notice three rather large clouds in a single-file formation that were almost overhead.
"Then I saw it," he says."A shiny object exited from the first cloud and entered the next and then came out of that one. It was shiny, like brightly polished objects, moving at a good speed. I couldn't make out the shape."
注意：
1.续写词数应为150左右；
2.请在答题卡的相应位置作答。
By this time, Lewis was so distracted by the UFO.
